"Mom, there are a lot of delicious food here. I will take my mother to buy them!" After Xiao Long Bao noticed her gaze, he ran over immediately, holding her hand and going to buy something nearby.
The place where they are now can be regarded as a small town, less than half a day away from Zheng's hometown. However, according to Zheng, she often picked lotus seeds and came here to sell them when she was a child, and this town is the most popular place nearby.
A prosperous place.
Therefore, Zhang Yulu specifically asked the driver to stop here, just to take a look around the town and see the local customs.
"Do you have any money? Shouldn't you ask me to come over and ask me to pay the bill for you?" Mu Xuanyi deliberately made a serious face.
Unexpectedly, Xiaolongbao patted the bulging purse around his waist and smiled brightly: "I have it! Aunt Lulu gave me a lot, and grandma also gave it to me!"
"Okay, you secretly hid it in the small vault while I wasn't paying attention! Bring it and confiscate it!" Mu Xuanyi stretched out his hand to take it out, and Xiao Long Bao also turned around and ran quickly.
"Mom, come here and catch me. If you catch me, I will give it to you!"
This girl actually knows how to tease herself now. Mu Xuanyi couldn't help but laugh.
But she really didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scenery along the way and missed a lot. At this time, she rolled up her sleeves and said loudly: "This is what you said. I never bully children. I will give you three seconds."
For the sake of fairness, she deliberately counted 123, and then ran over to chase Xiao Longbao.
Seeing mother and daughter regained their vitality, laughing and laughing around without restraint, Zhang Yulu also held Mizheng Zheng's hand.
"Auntie doesn't have to worry about her now, right?"
Mrs. Zheng nodded and said happily: "Thank you for your hard work, my child. If you hadn't persuaded her, I don't know how long it would have taken her to figure it out."
"On weekdays, he looks carefree, but in fact he is very thoughtful. He keeps many things in his mind and does not tell others, which is quite worrying." During the time they spent together with her, Ms. Zheng understood this best.
No matter what happened, Mu Xuanyi rarely discussed it with her and just told her not to worry and to handle everything by herself.
Zhang Yulu also agreed: "Yes, I have partnered with her the most during the years she has been outside. At first, she was not that strong, but she still often works alone and has to get things done through gritted teeth.
, the training intensity is twice that of others, just to avoid causing trouble to others."
The two of them sighed in unison, not knowing when Mu Xuanyi would be able to truly open up to them.
Mu Xuanyi and Xiao Long Bao went out for a walk, and when they came back, they had a lot of food in their hands.
After sharing the food between the two of them, Mu Xuanyi's mood obviously improved a lot: "I just saw someone performing outside. If you are bored staying in the inn, you can go out for a walk."
"The scenery around here is really good. Although it is not very far from our place, it is still very different in all aspects. Lulu, you can also go out and see more."
When this was mentioned, Ms. Zheng became interested: "It's not just a performance, if it happens during a festival, there will be people dancing dragons and lions here, and it will be much more lively by then."
"In that case, those people I just saw seemed to be performing lion dance. Are there any festivals recently?" Mu Xuanyi's eyes lit up. Could it be that the time they came back was such a coincidence?
"What day is today?" Mrs. Zheng checked the time with the two of them and clapped her hands, "Yes, tomorrow is our Farming Festival. It is already winter now, and there is no need to work in the fields anymore, so everyone
That’s why we regard this time as a festival and gather together to pray for a better harvest in the coming year.”
"Then let's stay here for a day tomorrow so that we can participate in this festival." Zheng was very interested in this matter, and Mu Xuanyi and the others were busy with various things on weekdays.
There was no time to celebrate, so everyone nodded in agreement.
According to Zheng, everyone will have a small celebration tonight, with lights and colorful decorations on the streets, which will last until noon.
"Isn't this a night market? I didn't expect that there is a night market here in Jiangnan." In the years that Mu Xuanyi has been in Jiangnan, she has never seen people on the streets of Jiangnan at night. Whenever she goes on a mission at night, both sides of the street are quiet.
Yeah, no one at all.
"It would definitely not be possible in normal times, but we have finally finished the busy farming season, and the government will not care about it on this day." Mrs. Zheng said, seeming to recall her appearance when she was young, and she was smiling at this time.
"At that time, this festival was my favorite, because at this time, I could go out for a walk and hang out with those little sisters. But now, I don't know how they are doing.
"
Zheng was originally the most envied existence in the eyes of these sisters. After all, the husband she chose went to the capital to become a high official and took her over. Logically speaking, he should enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future.
But they had no idea that her life was not that good.
Even these days, when she dreams back in the middle of the night, she still thinks of the time she spent in Mu Mansion.
In comparison, those days were so miserable. She didn't even know the meaning of continuing to persist there.
The two of them were also attracted by the beautiful memories described by Zheng. They both finished their dinner as quickly as possible and couldn't wait to go to the street.
They came out too early, it was not dark yet, and even the vendors around them had not set up their stalls yet, and they were all preparing what they were about to sell.
"What is this? A lantern? It's so beautiful." Zhang Yulu rarely goes out to play, so she was immediately attracted.
"Although the streets are brightly lit at night, it is still dark when everyone is tired from playing and wants to go back to the village. A lantern can illuminate the way ahead. Moreover, these lanterns are more beautiful and can be used repeatedly.
, so everyone is very willing to buy one." Mrs. Zheng came to the stall selling lanterns, and her thoughts were already drawn back to the past.
"Yes, this lady knows a lot. Do you want to buy one for the two ladies?"
The stall owner, a middle-aged woman, also smiled and complimented Zhang Yulu.
Zhang Yulu nodded: "You all pick one."
"Since it's a gift from my aunt, I won't be polite." Zhang Yulu smiled slightly and took out a fox lantern that she had long spotted.
Mu Xuanyi chose the shape of the moon. The round moon was shimmering and there were a few auspicious clouds on it, which was very auspicious.
